The Hardest Punchers Under 190lbs?

Archie Moore deserves a mention, He was still knocking people out well into his 40s and holds the highest number of KO's in boxing history.

 

So strictly H2H & not P4P? I'd vote Dempsey.

 

All are danger men but Fitz and Dempsey are up there for me.

 

Can't say which one is number 1 but they all should be on the list

 

I’d say Dempsey was the hardest puncher absolute.

All great P4P hitters on the list but Jack was also the closest in weight to the 190 lb limit imposed for the premise.

So we know he punched tremendously hard whilst weighing near enough to the max. weight allowed here - which is only about 2-3 lbs above Dempsey’s optimal weight.

 

Rocky Marciano, Jack Dempsey, Bob Foster, Michael Spinks, Floyd Patterson, Artur Beterbiev, Michael Moorer.

 

Oh my word,all those men could punch like hell.
If I had to name the hardest puncher my vote goes
to Jack Dempsey.

 

Schmeling, Dempsey, Marciano and Satterfield are all good names.

 

Probably nothing to seperate any of those guys to be honest.

 

Do y'all just simply believe the Army was doing propaganda?

I'd say that is fair, it is a suspect stat for sure.

It's odd to me though, I never see anyone calling bull or making a big deal about Marciano's 925ft-lbs for or against. Me, I do it sometimes but it seems like a nonpoint to the rest of youse so I'm more interested in that perspective than the question ... sorry Vey, I'll try to not distract.

So, 925ft-lbs, pretty sure that is similar to a .44, .357, dodge ram 2500, Ford f250 super duty, you get me? Big caliber guns, big engine vehicles, 925 ain't ****ing around no matter what other real world thing you look at. It's cool to be able to say I punch with the torque of a car, but he says truck, big truck at that.

925ft-lbs says Marciano, with one punch, can move a 1 pound weight 925 feet.

925ft-lbs says with one punch Marciano can move a 925 pound weight 1 foot.

unimportant information?

 

Since their stats are unknowable you handle Marciano's like as if it is equally unknown? I'm not trying to put words in your mouth, just getting clarification.

Have you ever seen anyone actually try to debunk Marciano's 925?

Have you ever seen anyone look for video that could be used to get a foot-pound measurement? Or any energy output would be fine but not this PSI or pounds of force nonsense, it needs to be an energy read out.

It's fair to throw out the distraction because what you're really asking, I think, is more opines and technical breakdown rather than physics, but I think that 925 might be worth investigating. That, or maybe just looking at videos of bag work, getting stats and doing averages. Wouldn't be solid numbers but outliers should still exist and I'd be willing to bet the boys known for power also hit their bags harder, among them, some a little harder than others. 1 pound 1 foot, it's not hard math really... it's just a lot of work.

I don't mean this as a criticism, just to be clear. I'm just mentioning things at this point to save myself sometime just in case someone's already done this or started it.

 

Julian Jackson, perhaps?
